First Day of School!

Its a big day in the Randolph household...today is Harrison's first day of preschool!  Over the past few days, we have been trying to prepare him by talking about all of the fun things that he is going to get to do at school since he is a big boy now.  He got up much earlier than normal this morning, which was actually good, because I was able to get him ready & fed without having to rush.  We talked all morning about the cool playground at school and the cars & racetracks in his classroom.  As you can see in the picture, he was so proud of his school backpack and excited to go!

The school has a car line that they encourage you use because it is easier to get kids out of cars and away from mom when they are in the car seat, as opposed to holding your hand in front of the classroom (and easier for mom when you have a 1 month old in the car as well!) We pulled up and Harrison seemed to be okay...until the teacher's assistant opened the car door to pull him out.  The tears started pouring and he was trying to climb to the center of the car, as far away from the door as possible.  Thankfully the assistant was very quick, grabbed him up, shut the door and ran off with him towards the school.  It kind of reminded me of ripping a band-aid off.  The quicker the better!  I'm hoping when I pick him up in a little bit, he will be smiling!  I can only imagine what it must be like for the teachers this first week or two of school!  Expect an update soon for the results of afternoon pickup!  I feel like such a rookie though, I realized after I dropped him off, that my # that is supposed to be displayed in my car window for pick-up, is still in Harrison's backpack!  oops!  Hopefully I will get it right by Thursday!
